§ 3 Special agreements on payment methods offered

Use of personal data when choosing Klarna as payment method
If you have chosen Klarna's payment services Klarna Invoice and/or Klarna Installment Purchase as a payment option, you have consented that we have collected and transmitted to Klarna the following personal data necessary for the processing of the purchase on account and an identity and credit check, such as first and last name, address, date of birth, gender, e-mail address, IP address, telephone number, as well as the data necessary for the processing of the purchase on account, which are related to the order, such as the number of items, item number, invoice amount and taxes in percent. The data processing serves the purpose of offering the payment methods invoice purchase and installment purchase as well as the credit assessment required for this. The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
The transmission of this data takes place so that Klarna can create an invoice and carry out an identity and credit check for the processing of your purchase with the invoice processing requested by you. Klarna requires the personal data of the buyer to obtain information from credit agencies for the purpose of identity and credit checks. In Germany, this may be the following credit agencies:
- Schufa Holding AG, Kormoranweg 5, 65203 Wiesbaden, Germany.
- Bürgel Wirtschaftsinformationen GmbH & Co. KG, P.O. Box 5001 66, 22701 Hamburg, Germany
- Creditreform Bremen Seddig KG, Contrescarpe 17, 28203 Bremen, Germany
- infoscore Consumer Data GmbH, Rheinstrasse 99, 76532 Baden-Baden.
In the context of the decision on the establishment, implementation or termination of the contractual relationship, Klarna collects and uses, apart from an address check, information on the past payment behavior of the buyer and probability values for this behavior in the future. The calculation of these score values by Klarna is based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical method. For this purpose, Klarna will also use your address data, among other things. If this calculation shows that your creditworthiness is not given, Klarna will inform you immediately.

Revocation of the use of personal data against Klarna
1. You can revoke your consent to the use of personal data at any time to Klarna. However, Klarna may continue to process, use and disclose your personal data to the extent necessary to process payments through Klarna's services in accordance with the contract, as required by law, or as required by a court or governmental authority.
2. You can, of course, at any time receive information about the personal data stored by Klarna. This right is guaranteed by the Federal Data Protection Act. If you as a buyer wish to do so or to notify Klarna of any changes regarding the stored data, you can contact datenschutz@klarna.de.
